On the flow unsteadiness and operational characteristics of a novel supersonic fluidic oscillator

Spandan Maikap, S. K. Karthick, R. Arun Kumar

A novel supersonic jet oscillating method is investigated both experimentally and numerically. A rectangular primary supersonic jet is issued into a confined chamber with sudden en…

Unsteadiness in hypersonic leading-edge separation

S. K. Karthick, Soumya R. Nanda, J. Cohen

Hypersonic leading-edge separation is studied towards understanding the varying shock-related unsteadiness with freestream Reynolds number ($1.66 \times 10^5 \leq Re_D \leq 5.85 \t…

Unsteady dynamics in a subsonic duct flow with a bluff body

Luckachan. K. George, S. K. Karthick, A. R. Srikrishnan +1

A series of reduced-order numerical simulations on a specific bluff body type (v-gutters) in a subsonic duct flow is done to assess the unsteady wake dynamics. Two of the v-gutter'…

Unsteady pulsating flowfield over spiked axisymmetric forebody at hypersonic flows

S. Mohammed Ibrahim, R. Sriram, S. K. Karthick +1

The paper gives experimental observations on the hypersonic flow past an axisymmetric flat-face cylinder with a protruding sharp-tip spike at a freestream Mach number of $M_\infty…

On the unsteady dynamics of partially shrouded compressible jets

Soumya R. Nanda, S. K. Karthick, T. V. Krishna +2

We experimentally investigate a partially shrouded sonic jet (a sonic free-jet shielded by a solid wall-extension on one side) exiting from a planar nozzle at two different nozzle…

On the fluidic behavior of an over-expanded planar plug nozzle under lateral confinement

M. Chaudhary, T. V. Krishna, Sowmya R. Nanda +4

The present work aims to study the fluidic behavior on lateral confinement by placing side-walls on the planar plug nozzle through experiments. The study involves two cases of nozz…

Elliptic supersonic jet morphology manipulation using sharp-tipped lobes

Srisha M. V. Rao, S. K. Karthick, Abhinav Anand

Elliptic nozzle geometry is attractive for mixing enhancement of supersonic jets. However, jet dynamics, such as flapping, gives rise to high-intensity tonal sound. We experimental…
